How To Make Tall Planters - SO EASY!

[@sweetgrannybuns2774]

They turned out so pretty, but the original colors were extremely pretty. ❤️

[@alexaddo4993]

I sort of like the original colours!!! They're cooler than the painted!!!!

[@QueenAyeee]

I do too. At $30.00 trash can you can also buy a regular planter at any box store. Yikes

[@sonyaweinreis3658]

Ya me too

[@wendytasker9042]

Yep, like the before better. Thanks for the idea!

[@bridgettbible7635]

Agree like the colors not painted white

[@lanaranger6478]

Agree

[@Diane56ful]

They look nice. I do like the original color better. Adding feet to them would be even more eye appeal! Great idea!

[@pattimears200]

I like the original color better too!

[@maribeltalamantes3166]

You can always use a plastic bowl instead of the pine cones. A plastic bowl will fit well and won't go all the way down it will fit really tight that's what I do I hope I'm making sense

[@sariflynn9292]

The original color looks awesome. Great idea!

[@cheribower1266]

I like the trash cans unpainted! The look really nice just out of th box but I guess it's a matter of the look your going for!

[@carlosenriquez2092]

Hey cool video. My neighbor does cake decorating she took a disposable pastry bag and some weather sealer/caulking and made a pretty design that I painted over it aded some nice raised texture.

[@misskim2058]

That’s a good and easy idea… Especially with those Russian cake decorating tips. Big. Detailed. Cool.

[@ddl4374]

BEAUTIFUL!

[@JustQuixa]

Genius!

[@ag-fk6bp]

picture!

[@bonnieskiffington9442]

I really like this idea of using trash cans because tall planters can be so pricey. I’m gonna make some and add something for feet. Also think I’m going to spray paint mine with that stone look textured paint and put a protector finish on top to secure as I live in a pretty windy/rainy area. Thanks for your video.

[@Lady_of_Ishpeming]

When drilling into plastic, use your drill in reverse to drill forward. It'll be less likely to crack or split.

[@pattimears200]

Thank you for that tip!

[@devilmecare]

Candle and a screwdriver or a soldering iron.

[@theresawheat6813]

Or a glue gun minus the glue or a wood burner...lol

[@bassetto1603]

I too liked the original color! Looked more stylish!

[@jujubeantoo]

I like the original color too

[@lindachuong8400]

smart way to filled up with pine cones. I'm haven't thought of that use pine cone. Great idea. Thank you for sharing.

[@sonyaweinreis3658]

I use styrofoam in lg planters

[@MM-km5zf]

I use empty plastic containers to fill the planters...makes the planter so light

[@Chrissy_Mad-Scots-Wench]

What an fantastic idea, they all turned out so pretty! I suffer with Degenerative Disc Disease, and find bending really painful, so using your idea, and adding feet, will save my poor back! As you said, I can paint them in whatever colours I like. That's what I love about DIY's, we can share our ideas with each other, and then add our own twist to those ideas to make them work for us. THANK YOU for sharing. ❣❣❣

[@jalapenohino904]

I hope you still have the tops. You can make hanging planters .

[@rosaerivas395]

How do you make the hanging planters?

[@valeriepiro4746]

Glue the lid closed so it will hold gravel, potting soil & a plant. Drill holes for drainage. Drill holes on the sides so you can add the chain to hang them. I'm not very good at explaining. I hope you can visualize what I have tried to describe. Hopefully, she'll do a video making hanging baskets out of the dome type garbage can lids.

[@ddl4374]

Great idea!

[@lyzeesl1fehacks]

It was seriously so sweet (and kinda sassy haha) how you said, "Sure they may not be painted to your taste but you can paint them however you like" ... great attitude. I'm going to take a couple of looks at some other vids of yours now :) well done

[@hazelreaves5921]

I have been doing a smaller scale on my porch..the small trash cans at walmart 1.67 each put small hole in bottom,, plant flowers or minature veggies,,, put next to railing,, everybody who sees it goes wow over it

[@susanarodriguez5710]

Nice video, still like the original metal color

[@carolynhester8805]

Susana R. So do I, I really like the metal color, the way it comes!! Why make extra work for yourself??

[@lisasrexstar7796]

@@carolynhester8805 If one just uses the trash cans as they are, where's the crafting? You can't say, "I made this" if you just buy them and fill them up

[@jtidema]

@@lisasrexstar7796 Nope, but you can say "look what I bought for about a third of the price of other planters"! Works for me.

[@AFineLineA]

@@jtidema Agreed!

[@lDenise8]

Plain, brush paint, spray paint, splatter paint, decoupage fabric, decals, etc….just as she said….customize to your liking! GREAT IDEA….THANK YOU!

[@uoohoo99]

They looked better before they were painted.

[@SacredSagittariusSagReadings]

Totally agree that’s the one thing I wouldn’t have done, otherwise great job! They looked royal as is.

[@summersojourner]

She stated in the video that was the look she wanted. You do you, no need to criticize.

[@belindamartinez8441]

She meant .... I love them unpainted, but still look great 👍 I'm sure 😊

[@darcywilki7202]

They are totally fantastic! Thanks for the tips for saving money on making your own tall stately planters. I've been looking at these at the local nursery for years now and could never bring myself to lay down over a $100-200 for them. Now I know what I will be making later this week! Thanks again for posting such a great tip that allows me to get the tall planters at a budget friendly price.

[@tauraslady]

To fill the planters you can use paper either run threw a shreddar or crushed in a ball. Pine cones was a great idea.

[@lisasrexstar7796]

One lady did a video showing her planters with empty milk jugs in the bottom. Another lady uses any paper as well as table scraps which are compost & turn into dirt.

[@jujubeantoo]

i will definitely use the pine cones from the yard good idea!

[@joannerogers4365]

@@jujubeantoo you can also use empty cans, soda cans or bottles to allow drainage rinsed of course and with lids if u have them

[@Sooner-im9qf]

Doesn't the paper compact down a lot as soon as it gets wet? The pine cones would eventually rot and compact too, but I think it would take awhile.

[@Jann-l4i]

I absolutely LOVE these! I am going to give it a try this Spring. Thank you so much.for your awesome video. Jann

[@mamaj6028]

These will be good for my birds of paradise that go out each summer on the porch! They getting huge , so thanks, cause planters are super expensive in that size !! ❤❤❤

[@sandieedward8214]

Should add ball feet can buy balls to go on the bottom to help with drainage. Michael's or cans would make good feet too

[@connietowler3725]

Very pretty, love this idea. I fill my planters with cut up pool noodles. Gotta find a trash🗑 Thank you 🌺

[@tiffanyohara6364]

Thank you so much for showing the finished product FIRST in order to see if your audience even wants to make the product. Other designers try to trick people and make people wait until the end of their video because they want you to watch their whole video. I just skip to the finish and check it out to see if i want to make the item when they do that

[@misskim2058]

Good point, but that’s also went to fast forward slider bar is for. You can also scan to see if it’s worth your time. But a good video maker I will always show the finished product, then give the details, and then show the finished product again. That’s the basics for a good presentation. Tell people what you’re going to tell them, then tell them the details, and then wrap it up by summarizing what you told them.

[@brendabright6232]

These planters are beautiful and such a good idea!

[@irenepeek3211]

Very nice and I really like that you painted them, now they go so much better with your house colors than the original. Thanks for sharing.👍🌹

[@lauraharvey7424]

I really liked the original color of them as well but my mom likes the white as well never thought of using pine cones we have a ton as well I’m allergic so I use Styrofoam in my big planters.

[@barbarawood403]

Love the pine cone idea as I always struggle with moving a large, heavy planter and have pine cones to spare, as well! Thank you!

[@jmahoney9561]

I like the original can as is, they go with my outdoor decor as is; however, I am a faux planter thumb person.

[@kimberleychristman9985]

Speay foam works great as a filler just use some sticks or some branches to make a path for drain holes when its a setup and dry just pull them out

[@brenmanock]

I love the original colors

[@tamaramorton8812]

They look beautiful! Thanks for sharing this.

[@trenchantsometimes5149]

I like the color they were. It even shows up better near the house siding.

[@GGW889]

That's my kitchen trash can 😊 Its so nice. This is a great transformation from trash can to planter. I might try this. TFS 😊

[@Braedenfish]

Walmart has a set of 6 flip top tall trash cans for $60......sometimes they go low 35 for set.

[@davanachase2372]

thanks for the info on the paint. Since I'm a fairly newbie at DIY-ing, it really helps. And so many people just skim on the the paint info I guess because they already know the basics and think everyone else does too.

[@valkyriesardo278]

At first glance, I recognized trash cans. I agree with others in the comments that the original color is more convincing for a planter. I do love the pinecone idea however. Thank you for that.

[@patriciaedwards22]

Such a great idea! I really enjoyed watching your video. I learned something new today. Thanks

[@caldonialewis23]

Thanks for sharing this beautiful idea with us. I love it! How to order the trash can with lids? Thanks in advance!

[@Donna-vh5ym]

Wonderful video. I wonder how we could repurpose the tops that came with them?

[@scorpnz4433]

You could repurpose the lid by fixing lid shut, drill some holes & presto hanging basket. If you were to put dirt directly into it , i'd line it with a plastic bag so as not to rust it out too quickly. Latex paint may work also to protect metal parts

[@eydiegarcelon8889]

I've just stumbled across this video. What a great idea, I love this!!!!

[@AR-cw4he]

Can these containers be cemented on the outside? Thank You

[@teresamurphy633]

Thanks for this awesome idea, I actually like the painted planter’s great job!

[@carolynlove7639]

Hello did you take the flowers out the containers before you put them in your planter

[@odmc5462]

I'm going to use this idea.lhave plenty of pine trees, this will help me get rid of debris to. Thanks.

[@gwendolyncarter5668]

Excellent idea about the pinecones !!!

[@sharons8690]

seems i’m a year or more late to this channel. love the trash can idea with the pinecones. did you bleach and bake them first or use them straight from the ground?

[@Xhar308]

Great idea and I do like the white

[@girltalkwithdeedenise9571]

Great tips,thank you!Who knew that tall planers was a thing and that they cost that much?I certainly didn't and having watched you;I am sold!

You are phenomenal! Thank you soo much! Ooohwee!! You Go Girl!

[@kathywilson1291]

I like the original colors too but good idea

[@somethingbettercoming]

You did a great job. Great way to use up pine cones and trash pain

[@avrilcaulfield7627]

Brilliant idea

[@shantellpryor7596]

How do you keep the dirt from falling in between the pinecone's....

[@ThyGirlnextdoor]

Hi, we own a landscape construction company and have some landscape fabric, that would work. Landscape fabric is what some people put down before they plant a garden ect., it keep the weeds from coming up yet allows for drainage. Maybe cheesecloth would work, you can get that at any fabric store and is cheaper!

[@sherriworonick2618]

What a clever idea regarding the pine cones.

[@LeLa1ful]

Great ideal! In the tall planter she just put the flower in its original pot directly in the planter, correct?? Thanks in advance.

[@gailhicks5422]

Yo dry project is so beautiful👍 Save A Buck and good you go girl.🌱🌾

[@itstonivega3754]

What a wonderful idea. I just ordered one trash can. Thank you!

[@Valerie11859]

I use pool noodles to fill up the bottom. I cut them into pieces.

You are ready funny but looks gorgeous Foreal!!!!😁🥲

[@connie3941]

Could have left him there original taking the lid flipped it upside down seal all the cracks on it and turned just the lid into a flower box and put it on top of the tall portion and it would have really looked elegant

[@misskim2058]

Good idea.

[@nurugizani3075]

Wow

[@9672justemor]

I like the color you painted

[@Hipthehoopla]

I love the idea of using pine cones to take up space and be less weight. Do your plants drop down when they decompose?

[@lindabarraza2433]

I like the new arrangement.

[@ruthharris1093]

Awesome job ! I have 2 concrete planter's.. they are very dirty from the weather through out the years . What kind of paint should I use, any special kind ? I definitely want white tho ! Thank you 🌞🌻🌷

[@tonietchison1730]

Love the white look. Thanks

[@dustygagnon2746]

What can you use to fill the trash can instead of dirt and pine cones ?

[@donna7338]

Here's a hack on drilling the drainage holes: Use a 3/4 inch paddle bit, set the drill on reverse, and don't press down too hard on the plastic when drilling. It will give a precise 3/4 inch drainage without damaging the plastic.

[@jessiehaislet3625]

Very nice!

[@lindabaker1776]

What does the pine cones mixed with the dirt do? Looks very interesting.Just curious

[@nurugizani3075]

She just wanted to fill up the pot with something not heavy

[@kdbrantley]

I know it's been a year since this was originally, but couldn't the tops of the can be turned upside down in the can to plant the flowers in? It could sit on top of the pinecones. What are your thoughts?

[@favoritehobbygardenerOKLAHOMA]

Great idea!!!! Large planters are VERY expensive so your idea is very clever & smart! I’m subscribing! Thx 😊

[@MomAsol]

To stop cracking when drilling. Heat the drill bit with some flame

However, Now that you've given me the inspiration, gonna look at my local thrift stores!! Also, what eles could I fill them with besides pinecones??.. don't have any around😳...but that could take up that extra space? Thank you for sharing!!

I’ve used a bucket turned upside down to take up space
